Bob's Red Mill Anasazi Beans, 27-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4) Review

Bob's Red Mill Anasazi Beans, 27-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Anasazi beans are very yummy, with a taste similar to pinto beans, but more aromatic. Also, because they have a higher protein content and less carbs, they result in less gas when eaten. They really do cook very quickly, too. Highly recommended

Incredibly Tasty. The Anasazi were cliff-dwelling natives that inhabited the Southwest over 1500 years ago;. Once of the few crops they cultivated and thrived on were these beautiful, nutritious beans. They require no presoaking and cook in about 2/3 the time of most other beans. They have a sweet full flavor and a rich mealy texture perfect for any dish calling for beans. Anasazi Beans are not only delicious, but also a wonderful source of dietary fiber, protein and iron. Friend of the heart. Diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods low in total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers.

it looks like grechka, but it is not the same. It smells differently and it has a weird taste - it tastes nothing like the real thing. I do not know what they have done to the grain, but it is like cheweing on paper - no taste whatsoever! I Love Amazon, b/c I can get all kinds of stuff from them that I cannot find anywhere else, but with this, I recommend you to find a Russian store online and order from them the good stuff.

These nectarines are unsulphured and so they are a little more chewy that the sulphured ones, but that's how I like them! They are so full of flavor my mouth waters just thinking about them. They taste just as wonderful as a fresh tree picked nectarine only they have that wonderful chewy texture of dried fruit! My whole family (even the picky eaters) LOVE them!

Bob's Red Mill Organic Whole Grain, Kamut Cereal, 24-Ounce Bags (Pack of 4)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'd never heard of Kamut before it showed up in my Gold Box deals (since I had purchased some other Red Mill products), but decided to give it a try based on the positive reviews. I'm glad I did. As a hot breakfast cereal, it has a nutty flavor and a consistency similar to MaltoMeal, but is much better for you! The taste took a little getting used to (it's best with some milk and brown sugar) but I now like it quite a bit. I've added it to my breakfast mix, and alternate it with oatmeal. I've also started mixing in a tablespoon or two of flax seed from time to time. It also goes really well with fresh berries, or even frozen blueberries if you thaw them out first.
While not quite supplanting oatmeal as my hot cereal of choice, Kamut has proven to be well worth the purchase; tasty, healthy, and organic. What more can you ask for from a product purchased on a whim?
*****UPDATE 07/15/2010*****
I tried making the "Pharaohs Muffins" recipe on the back of the package and loved it! I added chopped dates, raisins, and ginger, as well as a pinch of cinnamon. I also omitted the butter and sugar, and instead used apple sauce. The muffins turned out extremely well, and I'll be making them again. My wife also loved them, as did the coworkers I shared them with. They were pretty surprised to find out they clock in at 145 calories and have virtually no fat! So give them a try--they are worth it.

Highly recommended as a quick snack or as part of a healthy breakfast. Very nutritious and as the other reviewer wrote, it does have that Cream of Wheat texture. The can does not have English instructions, so be sure to use 4 small scoops and then mix in with about 3-4 ounces of warm/hot water or milk per serving. Stir to remove clumps. Enjoy.

Bob's Red Mill Organic Whole Grain Buckwheat Groats Raw, 16-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4) Review

Bob's Red Mill Organic Whole Grain Buckwheat Groats Raw, 16-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was originally hesitant to try these given the mixed reviews. I really love buckwheat and use it in a variety of different ways including as a hot morning cereal, fresh ground for homemade bread and pancakes (nothing beats fresh ground buckwheat flour made into pancakes with 100 wholesome maple syrup) and even in a type of pilaf. After re-reading a few things it appears there are some misconceptions about this product...
1. - This is indeed raw and whole grain groats. If you are searching for roasted/toasted buckwheat you need to keep searching. If you are searching for partially ground, flaked, rolled, etc you also need to keep looking. For those that are familiar with Kasha - this is not roasted nor partially broken...when cooked it will turn into little round balls rather like tapioca.
2. Not mushy...try this a few times to get the cooking correct. I eat this for breakfast with a little honey several times per week and it is excellent. No gluten, lots of nutrition including most essential amino acids, very little fat/calories...it's nearly the perfect food. Bring the water to a boil, put in the groats, reduce the heat and allow to simmer for a few minutes. Keep an eye on it - the buckwheat will "puff" and become soft. After a few attempts you will learn to recognize the preferred consistency that suites you best.
3. Superb nutrition & versatile. Buckwheat should be considered a super-food it's so nutritious without all the other garbage. It's also incredibly versatile - from a hot breakfast cereal (boil and use a touch of honey) to fresh ground for bread (bread makers, use about 1:4 ratio with fresh ground whole wheat...since this has no gluten the wheat will allow it to rise while the buckwheat adds essential nutrients the wheat lacks. For those with a gluten intolerance, buckwheat is a superb alternative and can be used to create bread without any gluten but you will need to use an enhancer to help it rise.

Salba Smart Whole Grain, 12.7 Ounce Bag Review

Salba Smart Whole Grain, 12.7 Ounce  Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
With age, my tummy has decided it doesn't like me very much, and this product gives me a nutritious breakfast, that fills me up and is easy on my stomach.
I enjoy this best when I soak 2 Tablespoons of the seeds in a cup of water or milk overnight. It forms into a gel by the next morning. If I've soaked it in milk, I add a tablespoon or so of Nestle's Chocolate Quick, and it tastes a little like chocolate tapioca pudding. If I've mixed it with water, I add a bit of Tang the next morning, and it tastes like a fruity-flavored slush. Sometimes, I also add shelled hemp seeds and/or cocoa nibs for a little more nutrition and flavor. When I add these extras, I also run it through the blender so I won't have to "chew" my shake.
I also like that this has lots of fiber. It doesn't have much taste on it's own, so it takes on the flavor of whatever I'm mixing it with.

The only down side is that unless you let it soak a long time, it's like trying to eat a bowl of rocks. Warming it in the microwave improves the soaking time and is great for the cold winter months!
